Fatality rate only covers death, not complications like a kid losing their hearing or sight or becoming immunocompromised.

yep. Measles fucked up my eyesight. I had measles before I could get the MMR thanks to an irresponsible family member who brought their kid to a family event. None of the other kids present got measles because they had been vaccinated already. Death is the worst thing that could happen, ofc, but not the only thing.
